Ib_insync - Trail Limit Order

[ingelrii]

Hello, I've been searching in the library and the posts if it is possible to submit a trail limit order in ib_insync, but I don't find anything. Can someone help me and tell me if there is any way to do it. Thank you very much,

The basic order types are defined in the IBKR docs here: https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/basic_orders.html

It works as the docs say for a trailing stop limit:

order = Order()
order.action = action
order.orderType = "TRAIL LIMIT"
order.totalQuantity = quantity
order.trailStopPrice = trailStopPrice
order.lmtPriceOffset = lmtPriceOffset
order.auxPrice = trailingAmount

Then you submit the order the normal way by combining your qualified contract with your order definition.
